Most of you don't have a discipline or goal problem. The real issue is you make everything too complicated.
Here's my 10-minute weekly system with a 100% success rate.
Start the business.
Begin saving & investing with whatever you've got.
Go ahead and workout from home or get a gym membership.
Literally START WHERE YOU ARE.
How can we doom when God literally says...
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
— Joshua 1:9
Everybody blames the fall of the west on everything but the one core issue.
If men and women, are stuck in survival mode. Both working full-time jobs. No hope of buying a home but if they do buy home they’re going to be in debt and pay double the price back over the next 20 years. Taxes take half their money. Inflation removes more.
No wonder they don’t care about their society.
Anyways instead of complaining here’s how to fix it…
talk to guys in their mid 20’s to 30’s every single day who’ve done everything right and still can’t afford a house or a family.
they did the degree. got the job. rent eats half their paycheck. a house costs 6x what their parents paid.
nobody is thinking about what happens next.
a man with a family and a home has something to protect. he shows up. he cares about the future because his kids live in it.
a man with nothing to lose doesn’t care if the whole thing burns down. why would he.
stop waiting for the system to fix itself. build around it. move somewhere your money works. create income that travels. find the place where family is still possible without being a millionaire first.
nobody is coming to make this easier.
Being fat and broke sucks.
Being lean and broke sucks.
Let’s talk about why being fat or lean doesn’t determine your bank account.
And instead 1 thing that does…
you don’t need to fix your mindset. you need to make more money.
you don’t just need to make more money. you need a purpose bigger than the money.
you don’t just need a purpose. you need to stop doom scrolling and watching everybody else win while you sit there doing nothing about it.
close the app. open the laptop. build the thing.
I'm no relationship expert, let's get that out the way first.
But here's something that genuinely works when things have gone a bit cold.
Pick whoever winds you up the most, then flip it. Instead of asking what's wrong with them, ask what you've not been acknowledging in them. Then just say it out loud. "I saw what you did today, cheers for that."
Drop that mental scoreboard we all keep of everything we do for people. Stop needing the credit and watch them soften almost straight away.
Nagging is just someone who doesn't feel seen. Sort that and it stops
I 100% agree. My first number was thinking that $10,000 a month would make everything better. Of course it removed a lot of stress. I remember waking up the next day after striving to achieve the goal and finally having it and I still felt the same. Then I decided oh it must be 20k. Then 30k.
Money is very important. Purpose is very important. Good people around you is very important. Health is very important.
i think about this whenever i catch myself hesitating on the next move.
Elon Musk walked into the Netscape lobby to apply for a job. too shy to talk to anyone. walked out. never got it.
got demoted twice at his first company. fired from PayPal mid flight to his own honeymoon. first three rockets exploded back to back. Tesla almost died on Christmas Eve. his childhood heroes testified against him to Congress.
30 years of public failure from a guy who is now the richest man in human history.
i’ve built businesses across 27 countries. sat across from 9 figure operators. run two campuses inside the biggest educational platform in the world. and i still catch myself overthinking the next bet.
the hesitation doesn’t go away at the next level. Tbh it can get more expensive.
the deal you didn’t propose. the product you didn’t launch. the partnership you turned down. the event you keep pushing to next quarter.
every level has its own version of walking into the Netscape lobby and being too shy to open your mouth.
the difference between the guys who plateau and the guys who keep climbing is the same difference at every level.
one moves before he’s ready. the other is still waiting for the fear to go away.
it never goes away. move anyway.
I wanna experience the USA cultural dominance of the 80's.
Where you were either on Team America or basically a boot licking communist.
Heck I'm gonna go eat a cheese burger, wear some bluejeans, and then go shoot some guns.
while chanting...USA! USA! USA!
Cry more losers.
7 days a week. 10 years. 7 years abroad living off my skills. Thousands of students.
Don’t be impressed by the people who have a couple solid months. Unstable friendships and love life.
Instead…
Admire those who consistently are there year after year.
Place all of the mental energy and money into your home, businesses, investments, and family.
The couple times a year you go on vacation, even if it’s to the same place…stay in the best rental or hotel.
Money aside. Vacation homes aren’t worth their mental energy.
